Heaven-Sized Prayers | Pastor Micah Berteau | Talk To God

Hey, I'm ending today a series called Talk to God. Talk to God. And tell your neighbor, talk to God. Tell them they need to know, talk to God, talk to God. You gotta talk to God, talk to God. Some of y'all just didn't even look at anybody except for me, that's fine. By the end of this sermon, I'm gonna make sure that you made it worth your gas money to come, I promise. Talk to God is a series, it's a mini-series that we've been doing. We're gonna conclude it today. Last week really got you to understand what prayer was all about, what talking to God was all about. Today, you ever get one of those, just like an energy shot, like a vitamin C shot in your arm when you're sick and it just makes you feel, oh man, a bunch of energy. Today's going to be a spiritual energy shot to your soul. So that's, if you're wondering what kind of sermon this is, are we gonna go deep? Is it gonna be surgical? Is it going to be more on the, this is going to be an energy shot to your spirit. This is exactly what you might need. I think it's exactly what you need today. We're gonna start in James 5.15. This is where my assignment starts for you today. Ooh, let's go 11.45, James 5.15.

And the prayer offered in faith, that part's important. It's not just any prayer, it's how it's prayed. It's a prayer, but the prayer was offered in faith will make the sick person well. The Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other. Pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. I love that part because it lets everybody know I'm not just saying words out of my mouth when I talk to God. They're not just hitting the ceiling. They're not just for good hopes, good wishes. A prayerful person, listen, is a powerful person. The power of God is attracted to the person that's got a consistent prayer life. It is the conduit in which God releases the miracles and the move and the power that he has. James 5.16 in the Amplified says the heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man, the believer, can accomplish much. That's where I'm trying to get you to believe today. The prayer can accomplish much. It's not obviously just the prayer, it's who we're praying to, but you gotta pray to the God who can accomplish much. When put into action and made effective by God, it is dynamic and can have tremendous power.

Here's where I'm going today. I'm going after your prayer life. It's gonna go from dead to dynamic today, and I want us to wake up to the realization a prayer life can accomplish more than we could ask, think, or imagine. We have a big God we gotta pray to, and he wants to do some miracles in your life. Can I get an amen in the room? Can I get an amen online? Come on, we gonna pray. This is my sermon title for you today. Heaven-sized prayers. Heaven-sized prayers. I'm gonna get you to stop praying small. We're gonna pray big. Jesus, help us pray bigger. In Jesus' name, amen. You like that prayer? I like that prayer. It was short and it was sweet. I love what Mark Batterson said. Mark Batterson said, God honors bold prayers because bold prayers honor God. I love this quote. God honors bold prayers because bold prayers honor God. There was an old preacher, his name was John Knox. John Knox, he was kind of a one-subject preacher. What I mean by that is if you came to his church, if I was John Knox and you were at my church,

you would probably hear one theme almost every single week. His theme, prayer. He would always talk about prayer. If I could just get the people to pray, if I could just get them to go after God and pray and pray, you got a problem, pray. So he loved to talk about prayer. He got so audacious in his prayer that he prayed something so wild. It was passionate. You know, when you start to pray, you feel the fervency of God. You kind of feel that fire of God. You start to kind of get in tune with God again. And he felt it in this moment and this was his prayer. He said, give me Scotland or I die. What a prayer. Give me a whole country. We're over here just praying over a Chick-fil-A, which is already pre-blessed, by the way. And he's praying over countries. And so at some point, what I'm going to nudge you to do is realize God's bigger. Realize he's greater. You can't just sing, how great is our God? Sing with me, how great is our God? And just sit back and be like, I'm gonna live a life where God's not great though. Don't sing the song but not live the message. Walk that thing out.

How great is our God? Good. Now let's apply the greatness of God to the difficulties of life. Let's apply the greatness of God to every hurdle that I'm facing, every mountain that needs to be moved and every valley that needs to come up. I need the greatness of God to step in. John Wesley, John Wesley was out. Sea on a boat and he's on a boat in the middle of the sea and a storm hits I don't know why he's out in the middle of the sea. That's not my thing. Some of y'all love that I'm not doing it. You want me to go in the middle of the ocean have fun. Send me pictures. I'm not going There's things in the water. I never want to visit Never and so he's in the middle of the ocean storm hits everything starts erupting around him He is looking at death in the face Well, john, wesley old preacher says well, you know what i'm not just looking at death in the face I have a way out. Oh, I feel like somebody needs to let themselves know today. I have a way out There is a way out He said you know what I could either succumb to the storm I can give in to the wind and the waves and the rain and I can let the boat just go over and that's it for me or There's another option someone say there's another option Even when you don't have the ability to move the boat You have the god who can do anything in the middle of the storm He got on his knees in the middle of a dangerous storm and begin to pray This is crazy because the only time we ever see someone pray like this is jesus He began to pray the wind and the waves and the storm to be still and to stop God spare my life

The only other person that we have on record to say that kind of stuff is jesus That's pretty audacious to say i'm going to take a page from jesus's book and pray at that clip and say you know what? But when your life is on the line, there's another option when you're facing some difficulty. There's another option You know what it is. You gotta pray baby You gotta pray and they got on his knees He began to pray in the wind and the storm ceased and he made it through why because god Is a god who could do anything as long as you would step up and pray I wonder if we're praying only small things I do believe in audacious prayers. Oh audacious big Heavy extreme prayers now There is things that come with praying big prayers But I do want you to know this if you have the audacity to pray it God has the capacity to fill it I'm telling you today some of you don't even see the answer of god Because you haven't said what you need to say Well, you know god god's gonna do it right? He loves to work within the prayer line. He's not gonna force Answer prayers on you You better pray that day and pray audaciously and I do believe this Your prayer life is an indication of your revelation of god If I could actually record all of your prayer lines And we could all sit in the room and play them together and I could hear how you pray You don't have to tell me what you believe about god. I could hear it in your prayer life In the way that you pray in the in the in the matter that you pray some of you are freak out prayers God help Like that that's the extent of it, you know, that's monday through friday God help it's a good one

But you can you can grow from that We could add some words to that some people are fix it prayers fix it god. Just fix it Just just fix it bob the builder that thing fix it god do it. Jesus Whatever you have to And what we're doing is we're reducing god to the size of how we believe in him The bible says magnify the lord magnify the lord magnify the lord Why do we magnify you ever have a magnifying glass when you were a kid and you burn the ants? I know you did you're evil. You burned a little ants. I did too. Don't worry. I did too. It was fun. It was fun And so you magnify magnify whatever you magnify gets what? Bigger bigger. Yeah, put in the magnifying glass things that you couldn't see you can now see You magnify he never said magnified the issues of life magnified the value You're walking through magnified the darkness magnified the problem magnified the situation, but that's what we do We magnify everything else. He said magnified the lord. Why if we make god bigger our problems become smaller simple But here's what happens. We think That our problems are so big man. I'm gonna bring God my big problems But you've been magnifying the wrong thing instead. I'm gonna bring my big god my small problems God's not up there concerned about what you're bringing him today. Oh my goodness. Could you believe look at what they're no He said bring it to me. There is nothing I can't handle. There is nothing your god cannot do So now he'll step in in the middle of it and he will do whatever he needs to do To help you get by to lift up your spirits to give you joy That is your strength to break through give you the opportunity that you're fighting for. If you have the audacity, God has the capacity. Now, there's a moment where Jesus has a teaching where he says, I need you to have faith like a child. Faith like a child. Matthew 18, one through three. Jesus teaches in an odd way about faith like a child.

About that time, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? Big statement, ooh, big question. Are we gonna trap Jesus? Is he gonna get stuck on the answer? Is he gonna stumble over his words like he doesn't know what he's talking about? Jesus called little Johnny over. He said, little Johnny, hey, I'm gonna put, and he put the child among them. He put them in front. He said, little Johnny right here, I'll tell you the truth. Unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, little Johnny, you'll never enter the kingdom of heaven. He starts this thought, this huge question by saying, you need to become like a kid again. That's borderline offensive because I'm a grown adult. I can drive. What are we talking about? I need to become, but this is what happens. I need you to be like a child. Why? Because if you ever talk to a child, you ever talk to a kid, it's a wild conversation. If you've never had a conversation with anybody 10 and under, get ready. Hey, bear, what do you wanna be when you grow up, my five-year-old?

Batman. You can do it, son. Save Gotham. Hey, what do you wanna be? And so when they were young, and Beckham, when you were young, it was stuff like, I want a Superman, I wanna fly. And you're doing your best to navigate that and say, you know, it's probably not on the list of things that God called you to do in life was wear tights and attempt to fly. However, what is that? That's a purity. That's an unfiltered approach to life. What happened? Well, we're adults, what, why, what? Of course you can't do that, that's the problem. Something happened to you along the way that caused you to become small and minimized in your prayer life. Who hurts you enough for you to stop thinking that God could do the exceedingly and abundantly above? So he says, I need you to be a child again. What he's saying is this. Would you get back to purity prayers? Prayers where you just believed God. Can you remember when you first got saved and you wouldn't tell everybody about it? And look at me, God's doing great things and you were fired up and now you missed a reserve.

He said, I want the old one back. I want the child back. As a kid, you'll ask for anything. I know I have four of them, they ask me for everything. All the time. We will be headed home, not needing gas, but they'll be asking to go to the gas station, not for gas, they just want candy. At all times, they'll just, what, ask, what happened to that? What happened to that purity of saying, you know what, God, I don't even care if you don't do it, but here's my heart. I'm not sure if you're gonna accomplish it, but here's my dreams, here's my vision. God, I believe, I believe you're big enough to do that. I believe, and so I remember even not long ago, Beckham, when you asked me, Dad, can I drive your truck? Absolutely not. In the name of Jesus, get away from my truck. But what do you do with a kid? You put him on your lap and he grabs the wheel and he thinks he's driving. You, Dad, look at me, I'm so proud of you. He's doing nothing. I'm sorry, you're doing so good. You're literally, I'm literally doing all the work. I think God looks at us like that sometimes. You're out here driving your life. Man, that was a good, ooh, I made a good decision. That was a good year, man, I crushed that.

He's like, isn't that cute? Yeah, yeah, you thought that was you? Ha ha, sucker. I was there the whole time. God was leading and guiding the whole time. God's not afraid of you asking, can you drive the car way before you're ready? Because here's what I learned when he asked me. I was about to say just no, no, absolutely not. But I thought to myself, I said, in fact, it's not a no, is it? It's a not yet. It's not a no, it's a not yet. You gotta be a certain age, you gotta be grown enough, you gotta have a license, you gotta go through some things, and you'll get there. But don't ever be afraid to ask. Because it's not a no, it's a not yet. Some of y'all, that needs to be busted in your life today. Well, I just didn't think God would. I didn't think that was my pedigree. I didn't think that was my reputation. I didn't think it was my resume. I didn't think my history. I didn't think how I lived my life. I don't think the family that I raised up in, put it all to bed. And so you know what, God? None of that matters when it comes to you. When I come to you, I'm believing.

I'm standing in the gap. I'm asking for greater. I'm believing for greater. And you might say no, but I really know it's a not yet. I know you're just waiting on me to grow up. You're waiting on me to arrive at a certain character because God forbid he gives you something when your character's not ready to have it. Because then you're gonna be confirmed in the character that you do have right now, and you're gonna be too young. God wants you to grow into something. So keep asking, keep knocking, but pray bigger. Pray bigger. I love this Lisa Turkhurst quote. She said, I think Jesus would rather reign in a wild stallion than kick a dead mule any day of the week. She's talking about you. Me and you can be dead mules sometimes. But I think God would rather reign you in than try to wake you up. So what does that mean? What's with the bumpers on your bowling alley of prayer? Why are you living safe? Why are you praying small? Why are you being a minimalist? Why are you trying to live a big life? Live a grandiose life. Live a God is great life.

Pray bigger. God, take me out of this. God, bring me up to this. God, do this in my business. God, do this in my workplace. God, I pray that I'm the first generation that's gonna break out of this poverty cycle. God, I pray I'm the first generation that's gonna break out of this addiction cycle. Why? Because my kids will not experience what I had to experience. And that's what happens. I'm gonna pray big prayers. I got a big vision. I got a big God that can meet me at my big vision. And when I talk about heaven-sized prayers, why do I say heaven? You know a little bit about heaven? Let me tell you about heaven. Heaven in this city, this is all Revelation 21 and Revelation 22, you can find all of this. Did you know heaven has a wall of jasper and that the whole city in heaven is made of pure gold, clear as glass, 12 foundations, each a different stone of these foundations, a precious stone? Did you know in heaven there's 12 gates and each one is made of pearl? There are streets of gold in heaven

that are transparent as glass, dimensions that are 1,400 miles long, wide, and hot. It's massive. There is an endless supply of living water that flows clear as crystal from the throne. Did you know that there's a tree of life that bears 12 crops? That means fruit for every month. You know what that means? That it's never barren in heaven. There's always a harvest in heaven, that there's an inheritance. There's many rooms in the Father's house. There's tens of thousands of angels singing holy, holy, holy in heaven. There's a multitude that you can't count. This is a wedding feast, not a ration line. God does not work from scarcity. God does not work from deficit. God has it. He owns a cattle on 1,000 hills. Heaven itself is made of gold. We're out here on earth saying, God, I'm not sure what's going on. He said, ask me and watch what I'll do in your life. Heaven-sized prayers. On earth, we try to put gold away because we don't want to run out. Heaven, he says, I make streets out of these things. Yes.

We gotta have a different perspective. You're praying like a citizen of earth. Ooh, help me, Jesus. You're praying with this perspective. You're praying with the pain in mind. You're praying with the problem in mind. You're praying with the situation in mind. You're praying with the circumstance weighing on you. You're praying with the anxiety and the depression and the discouragement and the oppression. You're praying with it. But if you would step back for a second and see what the angels saw. As they sing holy, they're praying to a God who's batten 1,000 at answering every prayer, who's batten 1,000 at rising again from the grave, who's never been defeated. If I went to his tomb today, he's not there. What makes me think he? Can't come through. Drive anybody that wants to thank God that he's not done with you right now. He's still working on your behalf. Welcome to your new prayer life. If you're a visitor here, welcome. I told you it was gonna be an energy shot to your soul. This is your new prayer life. This is your new thought process. This is your new revelation. I'm just walking around, hopefully,

oh, you know what, my knee kind of hurts. Maybe God will heal it. That's what you've been praying for for six months. Man, you know what the prayer of Jabez is? God, bless me and enlarge my territory. How audacious is it for you to take a step back and say, God, bless me. Crazy, but God wants to. Someone say this, say, God, bless me. I know, you don't feel deserving. Me too. It feels odd. God, you don't owe me. I'm not saying that, though. I'm saying I'm praying the heart of God. You're gonna catch it. At some point, I'm not praying what I think God thinks. I'm praying what God really thinks about me. You've been praying what you think he thinks. I can pray God bless me, but I haven't been living a life accordingly. I'm just, stop praying to your considerations. Pray his heart. When you have a real prayer life, here's what happens. Your life turns in the direction of God. So I'm not saying out of the side of your mouth, name it, claim it, because catch me at the Mercedes dealership today if that works. It don't.

But when you have a genuine, authentic prayer life like Jabez, you can turn to the face of God and say, God, bless me and enlarge my territory. Why? Because if you give it to me, I'm not getting any glory from it. It's yours. It's not mine. God is yours. Bless me, ooh, and enlarge my territory. A crazy ask, but I wish we could get there today. And I think we will get there today. Heaven has never held a budget meeting because somebody prayed too big. He is ready for whatever you have. Jeremiah 32, 27. I am the Lord, your God of all mankind. Is anything too hard? For me, that's a flex, y'all. That's a flex. That's God saying, hey, what's good? Is anything too hard for your boy? I don't know if God talks like that. In my mind, he does. Is anything too hard? Can I, it's a rhetorical question. It's an implied answer. He's saying literally nothing is too hard. Why do you pray like something is too hard? Release that from your life.

Elijah prayed that the rain would stop for three years. Somebody apparently has been praying that around these streets too, but just stop. We need rain. It's too hot out here. Elijah prayed three years, three years. Didn't rain for three years because of one man's prayer. You're gonna get it. One man's audacious prayer stopped the rain. Three years later, he said, well, you know, God did the first thing I asked. I wonder if he'll start it again. Three years later, he prays for the rain to start and it starts again. I know you're back over here like, well, I'm not sure if I pray that, is God gonna do it? Yeah, God might not do it, but what if he does? What if he does do it? What if he does come through? What if he does break open the heavens? What if he does provide the miracle? What if he does change the diagnosis? What if the cancer does re remove from the body and the doctor has no answer for it? What if it actually happens? I wonder, I have a haunting question that I live with. What are the things that aren't happening in my life because I'm not praying about them? It's a haunting question. And it's all over the Bible.

Well, you know, it's just, do I have to pray? It is God's communication system. It's the way he brings miracles to our life. It's the thing that gets us closer to God. So no, I'm not letting you run out of here thinking, well, if I pray, I get miracles. When you pray, you get the heart of God. When you get the heart of God, anything's possible. There's a system to this. He's saying, I want you to pray big because when you pray big, you get closer to me. Joshua prayed for the sun to stand still. How bold do you have to be for the sun? to stand still. Man, I wanna build your faith today for whatever you're believing for, God's gonna do it. John 14, 13, under pray bold, pray bold, pray bold. John 14, 13, you can ask for anything in my name. Someone say the word anything. That's dangerous, that one's dangerous right there. You can pray for anything in my name and I will do it so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. That second part makes sense of the first part. I prayed for a lot of people. You can pray anything in my name. God's saying, look, anything, name it. But what if it just, you might as well, if it's not even a good prayer, you might as well process with God then. Well, I don't know if I should even pray that.

Yeah, I got some people that always tell me, like, pastor, would you pray for me to win the lottery? I was like, I don't know. You know, I'm not sure if this is the best use of your money but if you win, you better tithe. I'm like, that's an odd way, but I don't, let God work on you. Let God answer that. And if you win it, you better thank God for it. But like at some point I've had people, hey, pastor, I don't have a job. And I get, you get caught in a hard place and things happen in your life and you know, you switch jobs and everything like that. And that's a real, this is a real life scenario. So I've had, I've had men in the past, pastor, would you pray to give me a job? This was years ago, one gentleman. So I always want to know a little bit more specific. What am I praying for? What are you believing for? Are you wanting to start your own business or do you want to work at a certain place? Tell me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me. And so I want to find out information. I want to pray details. You know why? Because I don't, I don't want to make a mistake. I want to pray big details. I want to make sure this thing comes through.

We're going to stand in every gap and believe. And so one of the men, I was able to counsel him after and just kind of walk him through it. I said, I need a job. Okay, same thing. What are you believing for? Where do you want to go? Where'd you put your application in? All in above. Well, pastor, I haven't done any of that. I'm not really, I just, I just need a job. So part of this, what I want to reveal to you today is yes, you can pray for a job, but just because God knows your name doesn't mean employers do. You will have to put the application in. So what does a big prayer life do? It challenges your disciplines. It gives you new responsibilities. You prayed for a family and you got married and got children and realized, this is not what I thought it was. I should have just kept liking my friend's pictures on the gram of their kids. What is that? You prayed a big prayer. God did it, but it came with responsibility. That's okay. Don't get messed up with the responsibility thinking that God didn't,

because this is what happens. You get responsibility and all of a sudden you think, wow, I didn't know this was on the other side. Absolutely. You got to talk to some business people that are in our church. Because some of y'all are like, man, if I just had money. Have you talked to somebody with it? There's a different stress. There's a different pressure. There's a different way. Do you even know? Don't freak out. Don't run from God. Here's why. God will never give you a life where he's not necessary. Help me preach. Oh my goodness. He will never give you a life where he doesn't want to be a part of it. So when he answers your prayer, he's not going to do it to your standard. He's going to go above and beyond. Ephesians 3.20, exceedingly abundantly above. He's going to go above. When he goes above, what he's doing is he's building in the gap of how far you can come and then end, and then where God is.

He's going to have to fill the gap for you to get to the next level. So God will never answer your prayer if you can sustain your life in that prayer, in that answer. What happens is you're going to need God by the time you say amen. And that's the life you have. Now, this is the world you, well, God did it in my life. Now, I got four kids later. I only thought I'd have two. I married some Southern girl that said, let's keep going. I didn't think I had capacity for it, but I had a God for it. Ooh, that's a word for somebody. I didn't think I could carry it, but I had a God. I didn't think I could handle the weight, but I had a God. So this is what he said. Pray bold. Yes. Let everything out. It's gonna iron itself out. But when you pray bold, it's not because I'm just praying loose, wishful prayers. It's because. I'm walking with God.

And when he answers that big prayer, I now have a relationship with the living God. So no matter whatever stress comes my way, I have a God who can carry me, sustain me, help me through this process. This is what happened. James 4, two through three. Just to help you as we, this is my last scripture. I'll pray for you. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive because you ask with the wrong motives that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. There are some scriptures that just get all up in your kitchen and just start cooking. What? Now, the first part of this is beautiful. So the second part is a motive challenge. But the first part is amazing. And it's a principle I want you to walk away with today. My dad, when I grew up, he would always tell me, you have not because you ask not. It's one of the statements, if people would ask me, what is the statements, some scriptures and things that have changed my life? You have not because you ask not. I just have this crazy, and he just instilled it in me. You have not because you ask not. And the scripture came to my, it's in the Bible. And so even Lindsey, when she first started dating me,

she's like, you always get free stuff. And so yes, it's a spiritual statement, but it can be applied in an earthly context. And so we're at our first date, she's like, you always get free stuff. And I say, yeah, watch this. At the end of this, I'm gonna get a free dessert. And by the end of it, I got a free dessert. She's over there with her head down. Cause I said, hey, it's our first date. We would love a dessert. Have not cause you ask not. And we're opposite in this way. Lindsey, you know what the type of, either you are this person or the person you're married to or dating is this person. She's the person that if we're at a restaurant and they give her the wrong meal, she's not gonna say a word. She's gonna eat the wrong meal. Your boy, I'm gonna let the whole restaurant know that that meal is wrong and we gonna get it for free in Jesus name. Oh, and then they come try to take the wrong meal. No, no, no, no, no. I already touched it. Leave it here. He's a God of more than enough. So abundance in Jesus name. So we're two, we're very different in that way.

And so I just believe in that, the extra of God. Can I call it that? Like just the extra of God. Heaven is extra. God made heaven. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. He didn't lack on heaven. He didn't cut corners on heaven. You're his favorite creation. He said, I made man in my image. You carry the image of God. He's looking at you saying, I'm not trying to give heaven gold and you crumbs. Ask and I will give you the nations. Pray and watch me fill your mouth with the miracles you've been believing for. These are scriptures I'm saying, by the way. This is what God wants to do in your life. Being bold, walking around. Well, you've been praying it for two years and it hasn't happened. I've been praying for land for five years. Let's go. I've been believing for this church for the last five years. I've actually been believing for this church before we planted it eight years ago. It takes time. It's not a no. It's a not yet. Because if I know my God,

he is faithful to do what he said he would do. Come on, amen. Amen, can you stand to your feet? I'm all praying for you. Here's what I'm gonna do. You got some homework this week, by the way. You ain't a visitor anymore. You're a part of our family now. You get homework. My kids get homework. You get homework too. You know what your homework is? What we're about to do is I'm just gonna pray real quick. It's just gonna be two minutes. I'm gonna partner with you in what you're believing for. I don't know what you're believing for, but it's big. Just wave at me if you're believing. I don't care what it is. You're believing for something. All right, your biggest belief in life, your biggest thing that you're going, add a zero. Make it bigger. Stretch your faith. Here's why. You keep going to God with what you think you deserve. Stop. It's not about what you deserve. It's about who God is. He wants to bust your entire approach to life right now. And I want you to pray large.

I want you to pray bold. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna partner with you in this next prayer where two or more are gathered. He is there. So if you don't even have anybody, I'm gonna agree. I'm going to be your prayer partner in this next minute. But after this, you're going to leave this place. I want you to write it down. That's your homework. Write it down. If you don't, the enemy will steal and allow you to forget what God is trying to instill in you right now. This is a holy moment. Now feel the spirit of God in this room, gripping every heart, saying now's the moment. You've been too scared to ask. You've been too nervous to pray. You thought you were undeserving, but God said, I'm not looking at you, look at me. Look at me. God said, put your eyes upon me. The one that can help you, carry you, move the mountain. He can do everything that you think he can do and more. So you're going to write it down because you can't afford to forget what you're about to pray. Could you lift your hands? I feel the Holy Spirit in here. And when I get to three, I want you to pray.

And as we begin to pray, I'm going to agree with you. However it is, I don't care if it's family, it better be kids, business. It could be money. It could be where you're trying to move in the house that you're trying to get to. It could be a life that you're trying to build that looks completely different than the way that you were raised. Come on, let's break that spirit in the name of Jesus. Ready? One, two, three, let's pray. Let's pray. God, in the name of Jesus, I believe and I stand on your word of God as I partner with my friends, where you said two or more. God, I know you're in our midst. You hear our prayers. I pray right now. Big, audacious prayers are being offered to you right now. You're the God who said nothing is too hard for you. You're the God who makes impossible things easy. You're the God who opens every door, who brings every opportunity. God, I pray not tenfold. I don't pray twentyfold. I pray a hundredfold over every business, over every person's family, over our children. I pray, God, if there's any lost sons and daughters,

you will call them home right now. No matter where they are, we're praying big prayers. God, I thank you for you're gonna do what we don't even know how to ask to do. You're gonna go before us. You're gonna build our faith. We are offering these prayers in faith. God, you can do it. You're not a God who can fail. You're not a God who will run. You're not a God who's scared. You're a God who fulfills every promise, and in your promises, they are yes and amen. We pray these things in the matchless, mighty name of Jesus. And God, we call them done. We call it done. It's not a no, it's just not yet. But God, we're believing today is the day we'll be healed. Today is the day our body will be healed. If there's any diagnosis in here, in the name of Jesus, you get the final word, God. You get the final word on our bodies. We pray it in Jesus' name. Come on, can somebody give God praise? I feel, God's in this room. God's in this place. Oh, come on, we can praise him. Praise him like he did it. Praise him like he heard it.

Praise him like heaven's coming. Yeah? Jesus' name. Amen. Man, I just felt, hopefully you felt as that little energy shot to your soul, but in the spirit realm. What happened? You started stirring in the supernatural. You're always stirred in the natural. It's time to stir in the supernatural. Stir the well up again. Say, you know what? I'm not done. I'm not going dead and dry into the supernatural. You know, my soul is awakened now. I see through the eyes of heaven. I have a different perspective. God is lifting me to another level. Start to think this way and watch God honor your bold prayers. Can you bow your heads one more time? The biggest prayer that we can pray today is a salvation prayer. So before you run out of here, the amazing baptisms that we had today, well, there's some people in here that need to receive Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior. And if that's you, when I get to three, I want you to lift your hands,

knowing, admitting I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. When I get to three with no hesitation, I want you to lift your hand if that's you so you can confess your Father before man, as the scripture says. Are you ready? One, no looking around. Two, you want to receive Jesus as your Lord and your Savior. Three, lift your hands right now if that's you. Wow. Praise God, praise God, praise God. I'm just going to give this a moment because that's a lot of hands. Let's pray this big prayer. It's called a salvation prayer. Say Jesus. Jesus. Save me. Save me. Thank you. Thank you. For dying for me. For dying for me. And resurrecting. And resurrecting. Forgive me of all my sins, live in my heart, lead my life, everything is yours, and today God, resurrect me, and from this moment forward, may I see myself as a child of God, in Jesus' name. Come on, amen. Amen. Let's give God praise. Let's give God praise.

One more time. Amazing. I love this church. I love you so much. I just think there's something special in this house, man. Go pray like you've never prayed before, and write it down. When you write it down, go over it multiple times every day. God, you see what I'm standing for and petitioning for, and I can't wait for you to see what I'm standing for. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. My disciples, they look at you, and you get better. And I can't wait to hear your testimonies. Come on, and let me know. When it happens, let me know, okay. If you could DM me on something.

I don't care. I want to know. Hey, before you run out of here, let's read the declaration together. I believe what God has spoken over my life. His Word will not return void. This year, we'll reveal His faithfulness. This year, we'll produce fruit. This year, we'll be filled with miracles in His time and by His power. Come on! Yes, it is. Hey, we love you. I'll see you next Sunday, and the best is yet to come.
